[Photo is labelled "Miss M. HOUCHEN" ... but article refers to Miss G.     Presumably this is Grace HOUCHEN ? ]

Sad. 
Death of a Winifred Maud HOUCHEN in 1912 - record at NZ BDM (online) gives age as 83 years.    Would appear to be an error ... and should probably read as "8 years" ?   (Winifred Maud HOUCHEN d/o of Edward Charles and Laura, was born in 1904.)

NZSG Cemetery Fiche shows that Winifred Maud Houchen burial location is the Raglan Public Cemetery .... Fiche Number C01.08.

Edward Charles year of death 1939 and Laura Margaret Houchen 1957 are also at Raglan Public Cemetery.
